Hi all, We use OpenOffice.org extensively in our company. One of the things we do is create slides with Impress for presentations.
However after the upgrade from 2.4 to 3.x handout printing has changed in a way that is costing us an inordinate amount of time. We need 3.x for features like tables (a.o.), but make use of customized handouts. It is these customized handouts that have gone from 3.x, which forces us to create slides in 3.x and then go back to 2.4 on a different host to create the handouts and print them either to PDF or directly to a printer. Normally that wouldn't be too much of a problem, but due to small layout errors caused by the conversion from 3.x to 2.4 we have to manually correct all slides in a presentation every time we have changed something. As we customize our course materials to the needs of our students we make changes almost every time we use the materials. This means we have to invest a lot of time just to be able to print handouts the way we need them. As a matter of fact it is costing us enough to be willing to pay someone who can solve this problem for us by writing an extension. One condition however is that we want to publish the extension under an open source license, so the programmer must agree to that. Another thing is that the programmer must be willing to support the extension at least for as long as Impress itself cannot do this. Any takers? If so, please contact me through the email address used to post this message.
